lonetreesteve Posted March 5, 2006 Share #1 Posted March 5, 2006 Having some serious problems with the fit of the aftermarket left front fender on my '72 240. Does anyone have a good used original one from a 240, 260 or 280 they would be willing to sell to me for a reasonable price? I would only be interested in a factory original and not an aftermarket fender. Thanks!

hls30.com Posted March 5, 2006 Share #2 Posted March 5, 2006 with shipping charges, even a $50 fender will be expensive-they are still available from the dealer, I woulld check on the cost of a new one from NissanWill Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/19111-need-original-factory-left-front-fender/#findComment-158186 Share on other sites More sharing options...

montoya_fan01 Posted March 5, 2006 Share #4 Posted March 5, 2006 in another thread, somewhere on this website, someone claimed that even the fenders purchased from Nissan are no longer manufactured by Nisssan. I believe the claim was made that ALL new fenders (including Nissan OEM purchased) are manufactured by other than OEM sources.I can't find the thread, but it wasn't posted too long ago.

dkd021 Posted March 5, 2006 Share #5 Posted March 5, 2006 even the fenders purchased from Nissan are no longer manufactured by Nisssan. I bought two new fenders from my Nissan dealer about a year or so back. They were made in the US Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/19111-need-original-factory-left-front-fender/#findComment-158193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
a7dz Posted March 5, 2006 Share #6 Posted March 5, 2006 They fit so sweet. I don't really care where they were made. Still had NISSAN logo's on both.

lonetreesteve Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share #7 Posted March 5, 2006 Thanks, guys. I didn't realize that new fenders were still available from Nissan. How much $ are we talking about?

dkd021 Posted March 5, 2006 Share #8 Posted March 5, 2006 How much $ are we talking about?Without looking at my receipts, I believe they were about $200 each with my club discount.

Grim Posted March 5, 2006 Share #9 Posted March 5, 2006 I just got a fender for my 280. If I remember right it was $240 from my local nissan dealer. I even called in sick from work to pick it up.

lonetreesteve Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share #10 Posted March 6, 2006 Sounds reasonable for a new fender. DKD021, which club discount are you referring to?

dkd021 Posted March 6, 2006 Share #11 Posted March 6, 2006 MSA will offer you a varying discount on parts if you tell them that you're part of your local Z club. For example, because I'm a member of the Georgia Z Club, MSA gives me a discount of 10% or less in most cases. We GZC members receive a monthly newsletter & in the back if has a section that shows retailers that will offer a discount with proof of club membership. Banzai is one, Courtesy is another, & several local Nissan dealerships. The Nissan dealer that I go to gives a 20% part discount with membership. Here is my receipt & the part numbers are included.

Evil Twin Posted March 6, 2006 Share #12 Posted March 6, 2006 Most of the better known retailers give a discount for verifiable membership in any of the larger Z clubs-including this one! I would get to know the parts and sales managers at your local dealer. Sometimes the dealership might give a discount to someone with a newly restored Z to have it parked out front to help draw in customers. You won't know until you ask...I am not active in the Georgia Z Club because it really does not cover the state of Georgia, but it does cover Atlanta and the Metro area very well. I am not convinced a 10hr drive round trip would be worth a 2-3 hour meeting at the Hooters on Jimmy Carter... Not that is isn't a great club with some seriously into it members, just that is may have members state wide, but it doesn't address those members with local events and discounts...
